double-clicking drive icon SEARCHES by default

Hi, guys. I've got a small problem with WinXP Pro, and I'm not sure how to go about correcting it. When double-clicking on a drive icon in "My Computer"--whether it's a hard drive partition, the floppy drive, or an optical drive--WinXP opens up a search window by default (as if I had right-clicked and selected "Search"). In order to access the drive's contents, I've been right-clicking and selecting "Open". I've also noticed that "open" is no longer the top choice from the drop-down menu when I right-click

So far, I've only noticed this problem on the drives under "My Computer" and nowhere else. I know it's not a big deal, but I'm always trying to learn more. So, can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
 
Type in Start Run
regsvr32 /i shell32

There is a bug in the Filetypes dialog.
